Interview question-how would you have answered?what would you like to improve about yourself?

Question

I had no idea what to say :(

Answer 1

I would have said, "I find I spend too much time living, dreaming, and breathing my work. I don't know how I can improve on that, because my work is my life!" :):):)

Seriously, I would have said something like "It would be great to be able to diversify my skills a little more so I could take on more responsibilities." Or something like that. While certainly, the powers that be like you to be honest, you don't want to be too honest, like "I need to kick this drug habit before it kills me."

Answer 2

The last time I was asked that question in an interview I said "I am aware that there are times that I can be sensitive, or take things personally, but the good part is, is that I am aware of it, and I know that this is not a business where things can be taken personally."

It's honest, and pointed out an area that needed improvement that I was already working on.

Answer 3

If it were me I would have said this.
I wish to try improving on the skills I already possess and develop a stronger ability to work in this industry (whatever that might be).
This normally gets a good response but remember to think of something that sounds better and if your not sure about it just find something else others have used and change it so it suits you.

Answer 4

next time tell them you wished you exercised on a regular basis. tell them you understand how important it is, you just always end up doing something else instead. interview questions are lame--I picked up an application recently that said why do you want to work at krispy kreme. what am i supposed to say, "because I believe I can be an asset to the donut making process, I'm great with sprinkles and I know krispy kreme has a phenomenal retirement plan for donut packers."
